Many other churches and entire conferences have voted to reject the 2015 ADCOM Immunization Statement which cites peer-reviewed science as one authority for our medical beliefs. It should be noted, that peer reviewed science approves the following:
Peer-reviewed science affirms that gender-affirming care, including medical interventions, supports the mental health of transgender and gender-diverse individuals. LINK
Peer-reviewed scientific research overwhelmingly supports the concept of macroevolution, which refers to large-scale evolutionary changes over long periods. The scientific community accepts evolution as a fundamental reality of biology, with a vast body of evidence from various fields confirming its validity.
Peer-reviewed science supports the belief that homosexuality is a natural and normal variation of human sexual orientation, not a mental disorder. LINK
For these reasons and others, the Stone Tower Seventh-day Adventist Church in Portland, Oregon rejects the 2015 ADCOM Statement on Immunization and the 2021 Reaffirmation Statement.

“There the LORD made for them a statute and an ordinance, and there He tested them, saying, If you will diligently listen to the voice of the LORD your God, and do that which is right in his eyes, and give ear to his commandments and keep all his statutes, I will put none of the diseases on you that I put on the Egyptians, for I am the LORD, your healer” (Exodus 15:26).
